Thanks To The Smoking Section and Samuel L. Jackson

I am generally a winner in life. That said, I rarely win contests that are out of my control. Arguments? Yep. Fights? Damn right. The hearts of women around the globe? You betcha. But ask me to play the lottery, and I will look at you like you’re stupid, then say “I might as well burn this dollar up right now…”

That’s why I have to thank the good folks over at The Smoking Section for breaking my streak of bad luck when it comes to games of chance.

Another Tribute

As my regular readers probably already know, it generally takes an act of God for me to take the focus off of comedy over here at ListenToLeon.net. That said, I was not prepared to address the deaths of two entertainment legends on consecutive days. As a result, Bernie Mac got a tribute, but I negected to do one for Isaac Hayes. Let me start by posting a classic clip from I’m Gonna Git You, Sucka where, Isaac encountered the cheapest man alive, played by Chris Rock:

You all can thank the dedicated comment efforts of Anonymousnupe for that, since he posted a link to this clip a few weeks back over here. I think he wa trying to call me a cheap bastard or something, but it’s cool. I’ve been called worse! Read the rest of this entry »
